Description
The Trees Cottages are a pair of cottages located on the north-west side of High Street in Abington Pigotts. They date from the early to mid 19th century and have undergone some alterations in the 20th century. The cottages are timber-framed and covered with roughcast render, topped with a plain tile roof. They are two storeys high and are designed as a handed pair. A central gault brick ridge stack is present, along with four casement windows on the first floor and two on the ground floor, which vary in size. There are also two outer entrance doors that are glazed.
